Life During Wartime (LDW) @ 2022 Northwest String Summit
@ldwband
I’ve seen this Talking Heads tribute band a few times before last year. However, no band is better than when they are playing in the woods in the middle of the night.

California coyote (December 2019)
Not my best photo, as I took it from inside our VRBO in Joshua Tree. By the time I got outside, this coyote had taken flight.

Bald eagle in Anchorage’s Potter Marsh
A few moments later, this happened.

Root Glacier (Alaska)
Less than an hour before this photo taken, I came face to face with a bear on the trail to this glacier. Unlike other bears I have met in the wild, this one didn’t run the other way. Instead, it started up the trail toward me. I know, you’re supposed to “get big” when you are in a bear staredown, but my natural instinct was to back up. The dog in this photo was 50-100 feet behind me on the trail and decided to get between me and the bear. That scared the bear off, and so I’m still here to tell the story.
